Production photos of The Lightning Child at Shakespeare's Globe

This year’s final show at Shakespeare’s Globe theatre is new musical play The Lightning Child by Ché Walker and Arthur Darvill (until 12 October 2013).

Pretty bonkers most of the time, the show takes the story of The Bacchae and mixes it up into an ancient Thebes meets modern-day London extravaganza via crossing-dressing, 1960’s moonlandings, Billy Holiday and the bacchanalian worship of Dionysus!
